Many had written him off as a rookie politician. Some even said he was not cut out for the crooked path of politics.
To some, Dumelo was better off sticking to acting, in which he first made his name, and from where he derives his prominence.
However, despite his inexperience, it is a fact that John Dumelo has successfully carved a path for himself as an MP in waiting.
And so it appears that confusion has already set in at the camp of his main opponent, the NPP’s Lydia Seyram Alhassan as Dumelo formally launched his campaign.
We have seen enough in this country to know that massive crowds at rally grounds do not win elections, yet we have also seen rookies give incumbents a good run for their money.
In Ayawaso West Wuogon, it appears the latter might just happen.
